Camabelu Limited Fetcham Park House, Fetcham Park Lower Road Fetcham Surrey KT22 9HD
Aim and purposes:
Wonersh with Blackheath PCC has the responsibility for co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church; evangelistic, pastoral, social and ecumenical. It also has specific responsibility for the maintenance and booking of Lawnsmead Church Hall in Wonersh. Benefits to the public arising from carrying out thePCC's objectives areexplained within the annual report. ThePCC has complied with its duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, published by the Charity Commission, in exercising its powers or duties.
Objectives and activities:
ThePCC is committed to enabling as many peopleas possibleto worship at our churches and to becomepart ofour parish community at Wonersh with Blackheath. ThePCC maintains an overview of worship throughout theparish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. It strives to optimise attendance numbers by fine tuning the types, timings and frequency ofservices to make themost ofour facilities. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
Income from Lawnsmead Hall rentals has historically been approximately 4% of Wonersh's total incoming resources. This is still well below the long term average prior to Covid but shows a 39% increase over last year. Lawnsmead is well used as both a church and community resource, and is availableto all. Further information on activities undertaken is given below in the 'review of the year' section.
Annually, 10% of all Wonersh giving General Fund income, excluding legacies, will be allocated to the Mission Committee for outward giving, and the detail of the beneficiaries for 2022 is given in the accounts.
Achievements and performance:
The PCC continues to manage the operation of buildings and resources in the Parish. Health & Safety documents have been prepared for all buildings and a risk assessment undertaken. Fire Extinguishers have been updated and the oven at Lawnsmead replaced following an oven fire. The opportunity was taken to update all fire and gas systems in Lawnsmead at the same time. Branding of all buildings has been refreshed and they now form an attractive and cohesive whole.

Achievements and performance: continued
Policies have been updated and a good start made on the Parish Dashboard. The new Parish Administrator has updated the Google Drive and has also started moving systems over to iKnow Church, for ease of use and integration with theLifeEvents Diary. It will also be used for events and ticketing in duecourse. Church Edit areto be engaged to upgrade the website in due course.
The AV system within the church has been replaced and software also upgraded. Along with the previous improvements to lighting and vestry space, thechurch now presents well and is morefunctional and fit for thenext decadeat least. Thechurchyard development has also continued with additional beds planted and trees to therear ‘reflective space’. Surveys of the wall and trees have been carried out and both are in need of attention. Responsibility for the church wall is under discussion between the Diocese and Parish Council, while theDiocese has agreed to undertake removal of the Birch trees within the Vicarage garden.
Use of the Vicarage has increased significantly and during the year it has seen consistent use for the Ukrainian refugees, as a designated warm space, as theParish office, for courses such as Parenting and LLF, for events such as the garden BBQ, outdoor receptions and inside, the Passover meal and numerous dinners, lunches and brunches.
Further information is given within the various reports.
Financial review:
Net Assets haveincreased by £80,000 to £1,178,000 during the year mainly dueto a legacy ofof £42,000 towards the Youth Fund and new fund raising for the Audio Visual Project that contributed £51,000. Adecision was also taken to set aside £14,000 for the fabric maintance provision. A new Unrestricted Designated Audio Visual Fund (see Note 8) was set up separate from the General Fund to enable the AV capital costs to be depreciated between 2023 to 2027 without burdening the General Fund. Excluding the AV Fund raising project, overall giving was down 3% year on year, while overall costs increased by 6% in the Wonersh General Fund. This resulted in the General Fund showing a deficit of£19,000 (2021 £6,000). 65% ofgeneral giving takes placevia PGS and this will be encouraged to be increased going forward to manage the calendar year deficit positions.
Reserves policy:
A historic policy of retaining a fixed amount in reserve was deemed to be unsuitable, and a regular review of reserves was instigated in 2018. The 2022 reserves statement is shown below:
Wonersh Church Reserves Policy:
TheReserves Policy has been updated for 2022 to reflect theaddition oftheAudio Visual Fund as part of theSpecial Project Fund. It is the policy of this Church to hold reserves in four separately defined and distinct funds.
General Prudence Fund
The Church will hold reserves equivalent to four months general running costs and an additional three month’s salary costs. This fund will be known as the General Prudence Fund and as at December 2022, this value is equivalent to approximately £75,000.

Wonersh Church Reserves Policy: continued
Fabric Maintenance Fund
It is also our policy to hold an amount for likely forthcoming building works that involve replacements or maintenance. This fund will be known as the Fabric Maintenance Fund and as at December 2022 contains a sum equivalent to £17,000 (2021 - £3,000). After a year of modest expenditure an opportunity has been taken to increase general provisions by £9,000 for theChurch, £4,000 for Lawnsmead, and £500 each for the Vicarageand Springfield.
Special Project Fund
We will also hold an amount for special projects. This fund will be known as the Special Project Fund and as at December 2022 contains a sum equivalent to £101,000. This includes the addition of the new Audio Visual Unrestricted Designated Fund as a result ofQ4 2022 fund raising. It was agreed that 10% of this fund raising would be applied for local giving. The new AV system was installed in Q1 2023 and cost £43,600 (SeeNote 8). It will be depreciated over the next 4 years in accordance with our accounting policy. No further decisions or allocations have been made, however, it is worth noting that this fund could be used to supplement the General Prudence Fund at any time should the PCC deem this necessary. The Outward Giving Fund representing unallocated giving amounts is also a non-designated Fund.
Specific Purpose Fund
Wealso hold funds that aregifted to theChurch for specific purposes or havebeen designated for specific purposes by the PCC. This fund will be known as the Specific Purpose Fund and as at December 2022 contains a sum equivalent to £985,000. The sum is made up as follows; £441,000 in restricted legacies / funds and £544,000 designated fund invested in “Springfield”.
These projects reconcile to the funds shown in the Statement of Funds on page 10 of the accounts as follows:

It is proposed that, should there be a surplus over and abovethe funds described, thePCC should meet to decide how it can best be used to further the work of the church and to benefit the public.
10% of annual income, excluding legacies and donations for specific projects, will be allocated to the Mission Committee for outward giving. In light of the UK economic challenges the PCC agreed that 10% of the AV Fund would also be allocated for outward giving.

Wonersh Church Reserves Policy: continued
The Church Reserves Policy will be reviewed every three years. The financial allocations outlined above will be reviewed and included in the accounts annually.
Plans for future periods:
Wecontinueto bein a period ofrebuilding following the Pandemic and likemost churches in theneighbourhood, this has centred around families, whilealso continuing to serveour ‘on-line’ community. Thenature and structure of'Church'has changed and congregational habits haveshifted. Our focus for theyear ahead is to continue to build community, both within the church family and within the wider village context. We aim to do this by several means:
• Our services will need to develop the child friendly approach with separate offerings for them, and in both churches in the parish, be more welcoming, inclusive and hospitable.
•Our teaching will continueto explain thefundamentals ofcounter cultural Christian living and theneed to share our faith with our neighbour
• We will introduce new events to focus upon the key areas ofactivity, young families (and their children), seniors and the Sunday congregations. This will includeMBB (Mums, Bumps and Babies for families) and Memory lanefor those living with dementia/Alzheimer’s.
• We will also focus more carefully on thelife ofprayer within the church and at specialist courses, such as Alpha, Marriage Course and Parenting.
Structure, Governance and Management:
Thestructure and governance ofthe PCC has been reviewed in previous years and to this structurehas been added confirmation of the role and election of Church Wardens. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in theChurch Representation Rules (CRR) and in 2018 theAPCMapproved that the PCC should besmaller than would otherwise be required by the CRR, in view of a shortage of candidates. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The Electoral Roll application and confirmation process is underway and a new Electoral Roll Officer is in place. Members of the PCC are inducted into their role and responsibilities using literature prepared by the Diocesan Department for Mission, Evangelism and Parish Development. Day to day management is delegated by the PCC to theVicar and Church Wardens. There havebeen various staffchanges during theyear and all new members haveundertaken theappropriate training and checks as required by the Diocese.
ThePCC met six times during 2022. In addition to thePCC, thereare sub-committees such as Finance and Mission whosefocus can bemore defined than that in a PCC meeting. These committees meet as regularly as they can, and as required. The Finance Committee did not meet in 2022 but meetings are planned for 2023. The Building Committee awaits a new 'lead' and the Mission Committee is to be reformed shortly with a revised remit.
Review of the year:
Reporting on a full year in the life of a church is difficult, there is so much to consider, so many people who are involved and deserveto bethanked, and looking forward, so much that wewould wish to achieve. Let metherefore concentrate on where the focus of the church has been and the people that have worked at making it happen.
The Christian life is relationship, firstly with God and then each other. This has continued to beimpacted by the fallout from the Coronavirus pandemic which has affected church attendance, our need for and relationship with technology, and our aim to rebuild community. The two key words in our vocabulary have therefore been hospitality and community. In order to achieve this focus we have tried to build teams, host community events, provide access both physically and online, and to discern where God is leading us, through our services.

Review of the year: continued
The staffteam has been blessed with theemployment ofJan Durrant as theParish Administrator who has updated many of our processes and is currently in the process of redesigning our officesystem and we will then updatethe website. We are also grateful to Nick Gray for steering our finances so ably during the year.
Our children’s ministry has long been a core activity and after a bumpy period, was wonderfully stabilised by CharlotteVinall, and is now being developed by thenew Children’s Leader, ClareHepworth. It has been remarkable to see the timing and provision of God and our children are now excited to be part of both Chatterbox on Thursdays, and the weekly Sunday group.
Our mid-week provision for the retired is also strong with a range of individuals involved in serving a warm and vibrant community. This has been helped through regular ‘mini-breaks’ and the numerous events and occasions offering hospitality using the vicarage. The vicarage is increasingly coming to life with meals, concerts, meetings, courses, garden parties and administration throughout the week. Thanks to Liz Hayley for making this possible.
St Martin’s Church at Blackheath has enjoyed relatively steady attendance although with reduced numbers of occasional offices which places some stress on finances. The congregation has been consistent, the hard work of Patricia and David Allen ongoing and there is a feeling of opportunity in the village. The Coffee Morning made a welcome return and different events are planned for the year ahead. The church now has broadband which has been used on numerous occasions to stream services and record others for later broadcast. More will made ofthis facility in the days ahead.
There are opportunities to grow each ofthese aspects of our church lifeand weare working to involveindividuals to take these aims forward, and to be responsible for future growth.
Wonersh and Shamley Green School:
We maintain strong links with our church school both through assemblies and Open the Book, and also through the Governing Body and other sub-committees, where the Vicar is a member. The Churchwardens also represent the PCC with the Wonersh and Shamley Green Church of England School and School Meadow Charity and the Wonersh Church Green Trust. The Vicar is a member of Wonersh United Charity.
Financial statements:
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' 'true and fair view' provisions, together with FRS102 (2019) as theapplicable accounting standards and the 2019 version ofthe Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP (FRS102)).

Designated funds compriseunrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Theaim and use ofeach designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost ofraising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsiblein law. They do not includetheaccounts ofchurch groups that owetheir main affiliation to another body or thosethat areinformal gatherings of church members.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Voluntary income and capital sources

Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the incomeis recognised. For donations to be recognised, the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. There are no donated facilities or donated professional services. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102), but is described in the trustees’ report.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised.

WONERSH WITH BLACKHEATH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
INCOME RECOGNITION continued
Other income
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. Investment income is included in the financial statements when receivable.
Investment gains and losses
This includes any gain or loss on thesaleofinvestments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
EXPENDITURE RECOGNITION
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to thecategory. Expenditure is recognised wherethere is a legal or constructiveobligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of theobligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is categorised in line with the layout set out in the ‘PCC Accountability’ guidance on accounts, reports and scrutiny – this is shown as follows:
-
church activities includes parish share, church running expenses, church hall running costs, church and church hall repairs and maintenance and mission giving and donations.
-
cost of generating funds includes, if applicable, costs of generating voluntary income, costs of stewardship campaigns and costs of events.
-
investment management costs.
Governance costs such as the cost of PCC meetings and Independent Examination costs are set against general funds on page 14.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives.
Activities directly relating to the work of the church
Thediocesan parish shareis accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.
Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011.
FIXED ASSETS
Land and buildings
Per Church Accounting Regulations, and SORP (FRS 102), land and buildings can beleft at cost or revalued to fair or market value. Details of all properties are given in note 4 below.
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out at each year-end and any resultant loss identified is included in expenditure for the year.
Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property ofany kind is excluded from theaccounts in linewith s10(2) of theCharities Act 2011, where the assets should not be included in the accounts but may be referred to in the notes. Costs associated with the maintenance or improvement of such assets will be taken directly to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are incurred. Details of all such properties are given in note 4 below.

WONERSH WITH BLACKHEATH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
FIXED ASSETS - Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings, continued
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which requirea faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They arelisted in the church’s inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 subject to expenditure levels set out in the following paragraph will be capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straightline basis.
All expenditure incurred on consecrated or beneficed buildings whereindividual items cost under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is not capitalised.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 3 or 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investment property
investment property is measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair (or market) value at the reporting date. Investment property is not depreciated.
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchangeor whosevaluederives from them (CIFs etc) arevalued at fair value at year end.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash deposits with financial institutions that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are stated at transaction price.
Provisions
Provisions arerecognised when thecharity has an obligation at the balancesheet dateas a result ofa past event, it is probablethat an outflow ofeconomic benefits will berequired in settlement and the amount can bereliably estimated.

- Lawnsmead Church Hall is a Victorian building, originally the villageschool, which contains 3 meeting rooms, the main hall, the Turner room and the Jubilee room. The Church Hall was included for the first time in the accounts in 2000 at a ‘value in use’ figure of£350,000. Theinsurance valueof Lawnsmead Hall is now approximately £430,000. Due to the age of the building, it would be impossible to calculate the current actual cost. On transition to SORP (FRS102), the ‘value in use’ figure was deemed as the asset’s cost at that date. The PCC do not intend a policy of revaluation for this property.
The Cemetery Chapel is held on behalf of the Parish but no value is attributed to it in these accounts. Based upon independent advice this building has an insurance valuation of £100,000 to cover rebuilding.
No values havebeen attributed to theWonersh Church building or thechurchyard ( the church of St John the Baptist, Wonersh ), the cemetery at Blackheath nor the Blackheath Church building ( St Martin’s ) in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 s10(2) [consecrated and benefice property] and the guidance given in the Church Accounting Regulations.

NOTES ON CHURCH WORKERS PENSION FUND (CWPF) – December 2021 Year End
Wonersh with Blackheath PCC participates in thePension Builder Schemesection ofCWPF for lay staff. The Schemeis administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Scheme
ThePension Builder Schemeof theChurch Workers Pension Fund is madeup oftwo sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes: Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment, based on terms set and reviewed by theChurch of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors. Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. Thebonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. Theaccount, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members' Normal Pension Age.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
Theschemeis considered to bea multi-employer schemeas described in Section 28 ofFRS 102. This is becauseit is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers, and means that contributions areaccounted for as if theScheme werea defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SOFA in the year are contributions payable and amounted to £366 (2021 £990).
A full actuarial valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. For the Pension Builder Classic (‘PB Classic’) section, the valuation revealed a deficit of£4.8m on theongoing assumptions used, and a recovery plan was prepared. The deficit in thePB Classic will berecovered through holding back discretionary bonuses until such time as the deficit is removed, which is expected to be within five years. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Wonersh with Blackheath PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities. An annual actuarial report was received in November 2022 relating to 2021 –this indicated that thecurrent position in thePB Classic section is positive and was in a surplus position. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, theposition was also positive.
The next full actuarial valuation is due at 31 December 2022, but as at the date of preparing the accounts this valuation had not been received.
